ESA Gaia Archive TAP API

Table Access Protocol (TAP) service for the ESA Gaia stellar catalogue, the most precise astrometric survey of the Milky Way. Enables ADQL (Astronomical Data Query Language) queries against Gaia Data Releases covering positions, parallaxes, proper motions, photometry, and radial velocities for over a billion stars. Accessible programmatically via the astroquery Python library.
